March 2023 Newsletter
“I don't mind going back to daylight saving time. With inflation, the hour will be the only thing I've saved all year.” - Victor Borge
 
It has been an interesting winter. For the most part our area had a docile winter with very little snow, especially since the first of the year. But in the last few weeks that has all changed, and now it seems to snow every few days. I guess that is how the weather averages are created.

Don't forget tonight when our lives and routines are disrupted with the change of time. So, spring your clocks forward Saturday night if you do not want to be late on Sunday and beyond.

We have received the long-awaited Atlas 60-foot Gunderson High Cube Boxcars, 73-foot Centerbeam Flatcars, the ACF 4650 Covered Hoppers in HO Scale, and the 14,000 Clay Slurry Tank Cars in N Scale. Besides the Atlas cars we received the Micro-Trains N Scale monthly offerings. Since our last newsletter we also received new Athearn, Walthers and Tangent items. Of course, we have been getting restocks from all of our vendors, so your choices are broad. In addition, we anticipate the new Scaletrains GP30 locomotives to be arriving shortly along with the Walthers Mainline GP9 and SW7 locomotives!

We will have a very limited presence at the La Crosse and Three Rivers Show in Onalaska the weekend of March 18th and 19th. Anyone who needs anything delivered, please notify us before March 16th. Speaking of shows, we now have advanced tickets to the Titletown Train Show which is here in Green Bay on April 1st and 2nd! Again, we will have a very limited presence at TTS, but of course will be open at the store providing coffee, along with some extra special deals.

Lastly, be aware of the Ides of March! The Ides of March is from the Roman Calendar which is the 15th of the month, which we are alerting you to pay special attention to your email and Facebook in the coming days.

Clinics continue on Saturdays at 12:30.
